‎This book offers an elaborative examination of Aubin-Louis Millin?s Antiquites Nationales, a collection of dissertations describing the history of individual buildings and monuments that were threatened by vandalism during the early years of the French Revolution. Cet ouvrage a gagne la premiere medaille du concours des Antiquites de la France (avril 2014). This is the story of a book, a book about a book. The Antiquites nationales constitute, to say the least, an enigmatic publication. Written at the time of the French Revolution, by an author who had until then been known principally for his works on natural history, it is a book about which very little is known. A series of sixty-one dissertations of varying lengths, gathered into five volumes, describes and relates the history of individual buildings or monuments which were, according to the author, threatened by the waves of vandalism occurring in France during the early years of the French Revolution. Neither the circumstances of the book?s writing nor of its printing and marketing are easily elucidated, and the very form in which it was issued is one that requires careful investigation by a bibliographer. A careful collation of the Antiquites reveals that the traditional book form was subtly modified in an attempt to allow readers better to appropriate it for themselves. Amongst the more intriguing aspects of this book is the story of its reception. Hailed at the time of its publication as being a work of the greatest importance which should find a place in every library, the Antiquites very quickly fell from public favour. By now, it is generally familiar only to those engaged in research on the history of French architectural heritage or who are trying to find engravings illustrating a building at the time of the Revolution or before.‎

‎Pisanello and the Grounds of Invention‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2024 Hardback, xviii + 188 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:69 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781915487124.‎

‎Summary The work of the fifteenth-century Italian painter Pisanello has long proven resistant the interpretative procedures of art history, in ways that point to the limits of those procedures as they evolved in the period after the Second World War. Taking Pisanello's art as an example of a larger theoretical issue, the book proposes a model of interpretation that addresses the realm of imitative practice. Using Cennino Cennini's Il Libro del' Arte as a primer,the author argues for an approach that confronts the evidence of the artist's self-tempering work, and then tests that model through an examination of Pisanello's drawings and medals. She exposes the drawings as primary evidence of the ontological groundwork within which the painter finds his own habits of invention, and also demonstrates the value of looking for the groundwork in a selection of Pisanello's official works, including the surviving wall paintings in Veronese churches. In the end, the author contends that the self-reflexive recognition of creative agency is a prerequisite for the apprehension of Pisanello's art, especially the agonistic scenario staged in his panel of The Virgin and Child with Saints George and Anthony and its enigmatic signature.

‎Reforme et Contre-Reforme A l'epoque de la naissance et de l'affirmation des totalitarismes (1900-1940),‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Paperback, 346 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503525709.‎

‎La parution de L'ethique protestante et l'esprit du capitalisme (1904-1905) de Max Weber marque un moment essentiel dans la recrudescence du debat sur la Reforme et la Contre-Reforme au debut du xxe siecle. En Italie, en Allemagne, en France - comme ailleurs en Europe -, l'identite confessionnelle devient l'un des caracteres constitutifs de l'ideologie nationale et/ou nationaliste, ainsi qu'un element fort de la reflexion sur le concept de modernite. De meme, des phenomenes de resistance a la formation et a l'etablissement des totalitarismes emergent au sein de certains groupes d'intellectuels qui rejettent l'appropriation du discours religieux par les futurs ideologues du regime. On assiste alors a un foisonnement d'etudes concernant l'histoire des eglises et des confessions, s'interrogeant sur le developpement social et etatique des nations. Les echos des ces debats auront des retombees majeures dans l'affrontement ideologique entre Europe du Nord et Europe du Sud, civilisation germanique et civilisation mediterraneenne a l'aube du dernier grand conflit mondial. Cet ouvrage ne pretend pas apporter un regard exhaustif sur toutes les consequences que les discussion autour de la Reforme et la Contre-Reforme ont produites dans les annees 1900-1940, mais fait etat des premieres reflexions menees par des specialistes de differentes disciplines sur un sujet encore peu explore et pourtant fondamental pour l'interpretation de l'une des periodes les plus cruciales du siecle dernier. Language : French, Italian.‎

‎Salle aux Tresors. Chefs-d'oeuvre de l'Art Roman et Mosan‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1999 Hardcover with dusjacket 184 p., + 108 ill. couleurs, 210 x 297 mm, Languages: French. ISBN 9782503508504.‎

‎La Salle aux Tresors du Musee du Cinquantenaire presente des oeuvres medievales comptant parmi les plus belles, les plus precieuses et les plus rares conservees aux Musees Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire. Nombreuses sont les pieces qui proviennent de tresors d'eglise comme celui de Tongres ou de Maastricht. L'art Mosan, qui fut florissant entre 950 et 1250 et dont le musee possede une collection mondialement reputee, constitue la base de cette collection. Celle-ci rassemble, en effet, un ensemble unique de pieces d'orfevrerie, de sculptures polychromes et d'ivoires precieux. L'art Mosan, comme son nom l'indique, est originaire de la vallee de la Meuse: les centres principaux furent Liege, Aix-la-Chapelle, Maastricht, Cologne et Stavelot. Il fut fortement influence par les styles carolingien, ottonien, byzantin et antique et fut particulierement florissant aux XIIe et XIIIe siecles. Les pieces principales sont, sans aucun doute, le chef reliquaire du Pape Alexandre, date de 1145, et le superbe autel portatif de Stavelot de 1160 environ. Ce dernier est decore de scenes de l'Ancien et du Nouveau Testament. Ce sont des reliquaires de grande valeur realises, en cuivre et en argent dore, en laiton, ornes de pierres precieuses et emaux. Le culte des reliques etait particulierement developpe au Moyen Age. Pour transporter et conserver celles-ci, les orfevres de l'epoque ont realise des coffrets, des croix ou des reliquaires somptueux. Leur conservation a exige l'amenagement de salles aux tresors ou de sanctuaires dans les eglises. Les deux plats de reliure en ivoire de Genoels-Elderen, uniques et celebres dans le monde entier, datent du VIIIe siecle. Des tissus precieux, comme l'Antependium de Rupertsberg de 1230, font partie de l'ensemble: la soie rouge sert de support a une representation d'Hildegarde de Bingen, resplendissante de beaute.‎

‎Building the Kingdom. Giannozzo Manetti on the Material and Spiritual Edifice‎

‎Hardback, XVIII+518 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503525815. Building the Kingdom examines how Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459), by interpreting the great architectural projects of his day within historical, literary, and spiritual contexts, articulated their relevance for his contemporaries as cultural paradigms of the Early Italian Renaissance. Manetti, wealthy, learned, devout, and politically active, was perhaps the most admired lay thinker of his generation, a leader within the new intellectual currents of his native Florence and prominent in Rome at the court of Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455). Manetti's detailed accounts both of the consecration of Florence Cathedral in 1436 ('De secularibus et pontificalibus pompis' [Concerning the Secular and Pontifical Parades]) and of the ambitious building projects planned by Nicholas for a revival of papal splendor in Rome (book 2 of his 'Life of Nicholas V Supreme Pontiff') are among the most elaborate architectural ekphrases of the fifteenth century. In these, he surpasses his better known rival, Leon Battista Alberti. These important Latin texts are presented here in new critical editions, with English translations and commentaries, preceded by chapters situating them within Manetti's other writings, his vast reading, and his historical moment. A close reading of the texts, coupled with an in-depth examination of the sites described and the ceremonies conducted there, shows how Manetti's distinctive fusion of Scholastic and Humanist ideas became authoritative for an Early Renaissance understanding of the cultural and spiritual power of buildings.
